Global Insurrectional Politics Paperback / softback
Edited by Nevzat (University of Hawaii at Manoa, USA) Soguk
Part of the Rethinking Globalizations series
Paperback / softback
Description
The recent Arab uprisings across North Africa and the Middle East have attracted scholarly attention as popular movements with novel transnational and religious dimensions.
What became known as the Arab Spring can be read as part of a broader politics of normative defiance of predominant political and economic orders.
From religious conflicts and indigenous sovereign claims to mobilizations of refugees and migrants in camps and urban settings, it may be possible to speak of contemporary insurrectional politics as social movements that emanate from normative positions which pose significant challenges to systemic orders.
The purpose of this book is: to identify the material shifts giving rise to insurrectional politics; to reflect on key arenas of insurrection; to map/chart the impact of insurrectional movements on institutions and relations of political governance at national and global levels; and to explore analytics that will advance theorization of insurrectional politics.
This volume generates new knowledge on systemic institutional transformations spanning the national and global, by bringing together scholars whose work combines theoretical inquiry with empirical analysis of contemporary insurrectional politics.
This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal Globalizations.
